We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the SELECTIONS thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the draft.
While we are starting early, the clock won’t officially start until
Monday, April 8th at 9am. The draft will run from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday until the start of the NFL Draft (Thursday, April 25th) or the completion of the 6th round. Please remember to use the DISCUSSION thread so we can keep this thread uncluttered.
Once a team is on the clock, they will have two hours to make a selection. If a team goes on the clock after 4pm, their two-hour window will roll over to the next day. For example, if you go on the clock at 4:30pm, you will have until 9:30 am to make a selection. Picks may be made between 6pm and 9am if GMs are online and following the draft thread. The time limit only applies during the 9am to 6pm timeframe. If the two-hour time limit expires, I will make a pick using any list that the GM for the team has sent me in advance (send lists to the email address in my profile) or in the absence of a list, I will use the GBN Big Board with a little discretion so as not make an obvious dumb pick (e.g. Kansas City won’t be taking a QB in the 1st round this year).
In consideration of your fellow participants, and so we can maintain strong momentum throughout the draft process, please continue to actively monitor the thread over the next two weeks. As always, I will provide "friendly reminder" emails as your upcoming picks approach.
If a GM misses a pick AND fails make some form of contact with me (either via email, posting on the draft DISCUSSION thread, or providing me with a prospect list) prior to their next pick, they will have just 15 minutes to make their next selection. With two consecutive missed picks, their spot will be forfeited and reassigned to one of the BBIers who have expressed an interest to fill the vacancy.
If you expect to miss a pick, please send me your draft board and I will make the selection on your behalf.
Per usual, we will also hold an undrafted free agency process that will start immediately after the final pick of RD6. Anyone who wants to participate can select up to 5 UDFAs. Selections are made on a first come, first serve basis. I am not making any changes to this process, so please don’t ask.
Please utilize the
BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains the draft order (RD1-6) by team and GM with a fairly comprehensive list based on the GBN Big Board (as well as several other prospects that did not make the GBN Big Board). I will try to keep the spreadsheet and thread updated as often as possible… Good luck!

Oops! What a mongorific thing to say: "Where the QB is like a PG (not a QB, duh!) who makes quick decisions and releases" is what I meant to say. Come to think if it, it sounds like something else too, lol.
Good thing the night shift was active last night.

those were some impressive time stamps
The Eagles would have loved to draft another player from Georgia, but barring that they go with the top DB on their board.

Even though he did not go to Georgia that was a nice pick here. He was BPA on my board when I looked this morning to make a short list of targets for the Ravens. I would not be shocked if a team like Las Vegas took him if they don't trade up.

As Chris simms said, if he did go to a school like Georgia he’s a top 10 pick.

I was going to take Quinyon at pick 13. He is the best CB in the draft and a steal. That would suck very bad if that happened. Chris always having the best drafts continues
Yep, unfortunately, we are having a string of GMs signing off right when their pick comes up :/
Hopefully, we get back on track... Yesterday was salvaged by the evening flurry

Remember. There are people on the West Coast as well as living internationally. I myself was living overseas for many years and posted at time many of you would consider cuckoo.
The Vikings need to sure up their defensive backfield and Wiggins provides them with a CB with length and speed as well as the ability to play outside corner.
That being said, in real life I think the Ravens would look to trade out as none of the players who are in my top remaining tier would I give a definite first round grade to (I do not consider first round grades being the 32 names if I just ranked everybody from 1 to infinity). The Ravens have a surprising number of needs and could benefit from more picks in the first 4-5 rounds.
There were several OT’s under consideration
I can tell you down here in Dallas they hope Jackson Powers-Johnson is the pick

If Dallas went DT with this pick I would have taken Newton instead.
Maybe he got caught up...
Like the pick, but I think I like it more that it was made by the Bills Mafia. Ha!

Chop Robinson. Solid value this late at a premium position. Heavily considered WR here but that position is way deeper in this draft compared to DE. Rousseau and Epenesa are both free agents in 2025.

Hangover Part Two was a real thing...that's all I have to say, lol.

That is pretty strange. For me, a few years ago, when I was the Packers' GM, I made a selection from a McDonalds parking lot off the highway on the NJ side of the Delaware Water Gap. Hey, it was my turn, and I didn't want to keep the other mongos waiting. I care therefore I pick.

There's one I can't talk about (lol), but a safe one I think is from the side of the road driving back from Dubai to Abu Dhabi a few years back (I forgot which one though).

I literally did this afternoon when making the pick for Green Bay's new GM... Pulled over in a McD parking lot and posted the prepared post while running errands
When I made that selection in the parking lot, my wife was traveling with me at the time. She rolled her eyes at me so bad, I thought she might sprain something. You boys and your crazy mock drafts is what I think was going through her head.
